That's a browser issue. My browser asks if I want to download, or if I want to view internally (and if so, what mime type; to which I replied image/png).

Don't blame your poor configuration on the author of web pages. Ultimately clients should control the web experience, not servers.




It's how Google code handles files in SVN, rather than a browser issue. They specifically set the content-type header to binary, rather than image.

I would hate it if my browser asked me what to do every time I load an image.


It doesn't ask if the headers are correct. But in the 0.001% of time when they are wrong, it asks, and saves you from the complaint that the OP made.
